Hello, This is a suggestion for an improvement. Could there be a page layout option where the columns start anywhere on the page, but before that point, you just have a single column? I work on many documents where there is some introductory material followed by either instructions in a two-column f...

Hello,

This is a suggestion for an improvement.

Could the Style Shortcuts be saved so that you don't have to re-enter them every time you start work on a new document. I really like the shortcuts and use them all the time, but it's annoying to have to set this up each time.

Thanks!

Due to a company rebranding, we are now using Stolzl Book font for headings. When I compile to pdf, it works fine, but when I compile to Web Help, the headings are rendered in Times New Roman. Is there any way to fix this?

The headings also display correctly when compiled to chm.

Agreed! Why do we even need a lock button at all? Why can't we just resize the columns the way we want and have them stay that way until we change them?

Okay, that was a small part of the problem. So, I removed the "space before" for that heading. It is now at zero. And here is the result:
There's clearly still a problem here. Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Ingrid

Hi Tim,

There isn't any manual formatting overriding the styles, because all the formatting is coming from a separate style guide. And the styles were all working fine before I upgraded. The indents are set on the left.

I recently updated from Version 8 to Version 9. I created a document in Version 8 using a style guide. Since upgrading to Version 9, the styles aren't displaying correctly. They still have the same configuration, but just aren't displaying the way they should. As an example, in the following screens...

Hello, I'm trying to create a pdf template for an app note. The footer on the first page of the document has to have one type of footer and the second and every other page has to have a different footer. There is no cover page. The content begins on the first page. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!...

I am trying to insert a manual break before text only, not the entire topic. This is where I want the page break: HM_1.png And this is the result in the pdf: HM_2.png Is it possible that you can't put a page break before a bullet point? I was trying various things to make this work and when I remove...

Hi there, I'm testing a trial version of H&M 8, version 8.4.4 build 5960 to determine if it will work for my company. Sometimes, though not always, when I insert a page break, the line indicating a page break appears in the working document but not in the pdf. Also, when I look at the page break...
